On the Shortness of Life - MP3 CD in CD jacket

Description: On the Shortness of Life On the Shortness of Life Seneca the Younger (c. 4 BC - 65 AD) Translaterd by John W. Basore In the treatise “On the Shortness of Life”, Roman philosopher Seneca the Younger argues that life is short, and that people often waste their time on unnecessary pursuits. He asserts that people are too focused on the future and not present enough in the moment, which leads to feelings of dissatisfaction and unfulfillment. He points out that people often postpone important actions, such as self-improvement, until it’s too late. He suggests that people should focus on living in the present and making the most of their time. He encourages people to set goals and work towards achieving them, rather than wasting time on frivolous activities. Seneca emphasizes that time is the most valuable commodity of all and that once it’s gone, it can never be regained. He states that people should be aware of the fleeting nature of life and encourages them to make the most of every moment, to use their time wisely and make each day count, instead of living for tomorrow. “On the Shortness of Life” is a reminder to people to be mindful of the value of time and can be reduced to three key admonitions: focus on the present; set goals and work towards achieving them; and stop wasting time on things that are not important.
